It's definitely a good development, but I'm a little sad that the process of advocating for myself has involved feeling alienated by my colleagues and now being physically moved to a space on the opposite side of the building from them

I mean, I haven't really been part of the social mesh in my division since 2020, when they all spent several months not working from home and I did everything I could to become a covid expert

a) having to ask repeatedly for the most basic accommodations at work (like "I need my office to be cooler than 90*F" and "I need guaranteed use of a patient care space that isn't the ONE ROOM where my continuous glucose monitor doesn't work because of interference")

and b) having colleagues acting like I'm being a diva for requesting work environments that don't literally endanger my health
